In Japan, Blue is generally known as "Green," which may be the more common name for the character in certain corners of the fandom. Japanese manga usually refer to the character as "Green" while English translations change it to "Blue." This can cause confusion especially for manga such as Pokémon Adventures, which also features a female character called "Blue" in Japanese manga and "Green" in translations.

Characterization

Gameverse Blue

[Original (R/B/Y) vs. remake (HG/SS)? Blue & Eevee from Yellow]

Special!Blue

The fandom for the Pokémon Adventures (a.k.a. Pokémon Special) manga tends to refer to characters by their original Japanese names, so this character is usually known as Special!Green. This incarnation of the character is "often regarded as the most ikemen ['Hot guy'] out of all the Greens [Blues]".[1]

Other Incarnations

[ Gary Oak in the anime as well as The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga and "Shigeru" in Pokémon Zensho. Pocket Monsters version is "Green". "Blue" from the Pocket Monsters manga may be very loosely based on Gameverse Blue?]
